Category:Aircraft by facing

Hello, this is an awkward orphan category. Being nonsensical there is no available parent for it. Does anyone mind if I change it to Aircraft by orientation? "Facing" is a subcategory of "orientation". So are "left" and "right", et cetera. Then I would like to make "Vehicles by orientation" to be a parent category. "Vehicles facing left" and "Vehicles facing right" are currently in "Vehicles by setting" which isn't quite right; these are 'orientations' in my opinion. Looks like there are a couple other X-by-orienation categories already. Does anyone have any suggestions, thanks. Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 08:32, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

•  Support This should have been done long ago. Thanks for suggesting. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Ok I'm working on it, I will need some help with categories that are controlled by templates such as Category:MD Helicopters MD 500 by orientation, I usually break something when I try to tinker with these, thanks Ruff tuff cream puff (talk) 08:25, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

@Ruff tuff cream puff: I think this is done now, but if you could double check my work, I'd appreciate it. Do we leave all the "by facing" categories as redirects? -- Themightyquill (talk) 09:22, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
